• Satellite U400-10j - how to boot from a USB flash drive?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-10j.

  I have Ubuntu on my USB flash drive, now I want to boot from it.

  I can't find the option in the BIOS to boot from the Usb flash drive.

  Second, I noticed that the phone also has an internal memory card reader.
  I could load Ubuntu top then to start the memory stick as well?

  Your help will be very appreciated.
  Thank you.

  I think that it s not able to boot from a USB key on this laptop.
  The best way is to use a CD. There, you can start on this notebook and all other laptops.
  In the Internet there are many versions of CD of Ubuntu and other Linux systems.

  And as said Feliks, it s not able to boot from an SD card because it is not in the BIOS.

• How can Kenichi Watanabe, I put my music on iTunes on an external USB Flash drive please?

  I have a new USB Flash Drive 32 DB/GB and I want to put all my music in my iTunes top.  I saw instructions on apple, but they do not make sense.  Help, please.  Thank you.

  Hello again...  It depends on the reason for this.  You then use the USB flash drive as internal storage location for its iTunes Media , because iTunes folder that you run lack of space on the disk?  Or maybe what you are doing to use the USB FlashDrive with a car audio system?

  In the previous topic, I think you said that you use a Mac (not a Windows PC) to run iTunes, is that correct?

• USB flash drives do not work

  Hi all

  I have a couple of USB flash drives. I recently got a new computer and none of them work. They work on a computer with Vista and a Macintosh running leopard OSX. I tried to install the drivers for them, but they do not work. I tried to uninstall the from Device Manager, but they don't always work. Also, one of them appears SOMETIMES (very rarely) and when he does works incredibly slow and unresponsive so. I searched the internet for each method I can find, but nothing yet. And they work very well on other computers. Can I use bluetooth USB and a USB mouse and pregnant too much work, but the sticks of memory will not work. Also do they not appear on Device Manager. I have Service pack 3 2002 edition came with the computer.

  Hello Hasan516,

  Thank you for your message.  Have you tried formatting of thumb drives?  If you have data on them, you will need to copy these data to a computer first.
  If you can see the drive but not access it under XP:
  Open 'My computer' > click the drive and select "format...". »
  When the Format window opens, scroll down the "NTFS" file system, and select 'start '.
  Please let us know if this is or is not to solve your problem.
  See you soon

• Slow data transfer for USB flash drives

  When I transfer a file to a USB flash drive, the transfer is very slow. I checked my USB host controllers and they work very well. There seems not to be of hardware problems. Here is the Dell gx270s, the two XP Professional SP3 running computers. I didn't find any solution on the support site for anyone. Controllers are Intel. I used the Driver Max and it does no problem - but I wonder about the accuracy of this program.

  Anyone who has ever had this problem and figured it out?

  Michael Skladd

  Hello
   
   
  1. What is the brand and the model number of the flash player?
  2 is this problem limited to this flash drive?
  3 are. what transfer speed you now?
   
  Check if the transfer rate is the same on another computer. Also, try using a player different flsah on this computer and compare the transfer rate. I would ask you to update the drivers for the chipset on the Dell site.

• Why is my 64 GB USB Flash Drive "not a backup location valid?

  I tried to turn it to a previous question, but reading of the Code of conduct for this forum, I discovered that it was inappropriate to do that.  My apologies for this.

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit SP1, installed using Toshiba recovery disks (I have a new Toshiba laptop, when I got the system I opted to not have a recovery partition).  I just cleaned all the bloatware off Windows, ran Windows Update until there was no more updates for (achieved in this way SP1), and now I have a fresh and clean windows installation, which has never even been to a single Web site.  Now, I am trying to create a system image on a 64 GB flash drive (I won't even finish by using half of it, as my SSD has only about 19 GB used, and which includes the hibernation file (I disabled the pagefile, because paging files are unkind to SSDs))

  Before, I asked if it was possible to manually create a System Image of Windows 7 on a USB Flash drive (big), and I got two answers 'Yes' to two stars of the community. (See my question here)  It is also stated that it is possible on windows.microsoft.com, here.  Note that when windows.microsoft.com stipulates "the system image must be saved on a hard drive, reference is made to automatic creating system images.  If you keep reading, you'll see that the page says that if you want to manually create a a system image, this image of the system may be recorded on optical discs, a USB Flash drive or a hard drive.  If it is possible, then why will I have the following problem?

  64 GB USB Flash Drive inserted--> closed Autoplay dialogue--> Opened "My Computer"--> Right-clicked drive E (my flash drive) and the selected format--> Unchecked 'Quick Format'--> size of the NTFS system chosen and 4096 bytes of cluster--> Clicked 'Format' and acknowledged that all the data will be deleted--> waited a while for the form to fill out, then clicked OK--> closed 'My Computer'--> ejected my flash player by clicking on 'remove hardware safely'--> physically unplugged flash drive--> Grabbed a diet coke with ice--> inserted 64 GB USB Flash drive--> AutoPlay dialog closed--> opens the start--> Clicked "All programs" Menu--> clicked maintenance--> click Backup and Restore Center--> clicked on create System Image--> (scans of program for storage devices)--> my flash drive appears under "on a hard drive" and the words 'the drive is not a valid backup location' appear under my FlashDrive being listed.  For reference, "on one or more DVDs" appears just below the text saying "the drive is not a valid backup location."

  My understanding is that what I just tried to do is create an image of the system on an NTFS partition formatted (with a 4 KB cluster size) 64 GB USB Flash Drive.  But it is not letting me!  I understand that I can't plan the creation of automatic system for USB Flash drives, but according to windows.microsoft.com image and two stars of the community, it is indeed possible to "manually" create a system image on a large USB Flash drive, which I think is what I just tried to do.  If there is another way to create a system image, even more 'manually' than what I do (I'm certainly not afraid of the command line, if I need to use it I'm more than happy to do so), please let me know.

  I have a low-quaility SATA 3.0 Gbit/s notebook HDD in an enclosure USB powered bus at low prices, and I was able to create a system on that image.  However, I expect this device to fail shortly.  I also managed to create a system image on a DVD-r virgins.  I did, however, just spend $85 on a 64 GB USB Flash Drive specifically to store an image of the system, which I expect to use to back up Windows 7 with World of Warcraft installed (total size of drive C will be approximately 50 GB; I have not yet downloaded WoW; "I want to overcome this first).

  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thank you!

  1st edit: adding links so people would not need to copy and paste to their address bar and said the last sentence of the last paragraph.

  I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum is frought with for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Two me are familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 7 years without the 1st problem) and Memeo, which has 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from http://memeo.com. You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

  CNET has a lot of reviews of backup program to

  http://download.CNET.com/Windows/backup-software/?tag=contentBody;sideBar.

  Some of them are free (the last time I checked there are 315), some have free trials (more), and some are buying only (more than 200).

  Good luck.

• USB flash drive inviting with message 'write protected '.

  Recently I bought a 32 GB usb flash drive. I used it ok until 3 days ago. Now, I get a message saying "write-protected". There is no switch on the device write protection. How to remove write protection.

  Hello
   
   
  You can remove your usb flash drive write protection using the method below:
  a. open the start menu, in the search bar type regedit, and then press ENTER. This wil open the registry editor.
  b. navigate to the following location:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
  Note:
  If StorageDevicePolicies registry key does not exist, you must create it manually.
  c. highlight StorageDevicePolicies, and then create a new DWORD called WriteProtect (32-bit).
  In the right window, double-click the registration key and set the value to 0 in the value of d.
  Data area, and then press the OK button
  e. restart your computer and try to copy files to your USB drives.
   
  Important note:
  Sometimes, this problem is due to two Windows that have been corrupted registry entries. To resolve this problem, you must use the registry editor to remove the damaged registry entries.
  However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
  For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, proceed as in the KB Article:

  I hope this helps.

• Dell DataSafe - 'Create System Recovery' does not recognize my USB flash drive

  Hello

  I just set up my new laptop Inspiron and 'Dell DataSafe Local Backup Basic Edition' pops up advising me to "Create system recovery media" restore my system to its critical failure of hard disk factory settings.

  It gives me the option to save this on a disk or a USB Flash drive.  I have a drive hard laptop "Western Digital My Passport Essential' that I would use for this, that's why I chose the option of USB Flash drive.  However, I get a message "no USB key not found.

  Can someone tell me what I need to do to store the backup recovery system on my laptop hard drive?  (I know a recordable DVD will be probably easier, but I did not and do not want to buy a bunch of them just for that!)

  Any notice received with gratitude.

  Thank you

  I think you may be stuck. It may be opposing on the hard drive because there are already data on this topic.

• Why does movement of files on a USB flash drive last so long?

  I don't know if this is a Windows problem, but when I move a lot of files/folders (no copy, but select, then drag, or cut and paste) a place on the USB to another place on the flash drive, it takes much longer than the same hard disk.

  What is a Windows problem or a problem of flash player?

  If Windows is somehow move the files into pieces on the hard drive, then moving them back to the flash drive, I could see that as being the reason, but this seems very inefficient. If Windows says just the flash drive to move files and it does itself, I wonder if it is an inefficiency in the flash drive (or formatting) or just the nature of how flash drives move some files.

  I don't know that you have understood my problem. I moved the files to the flash drive from one folder to another on the flash drive. When I move tons of files in a folder on the Windows Installer by car, no matter where the records are or the number of files/folders are moved, it usually happens instantly and occasionally perhaps takes a fraction of a second or two; I know it's simply by changing the index (do not physically move the files). With a USB flash drive, it takes seconds to minutes, depending on how much is moved, which is usually much less to install on the windows drive. It's because flash player must physically move the files on the disk, there is no index to put it as on a fixed drive.  In addition the only way to move is to copy in memory, and then write it to the new location.  This means that each overflow bit must go through the USB connection (which is thousands of times slower than SATA cable on the real hard disk), and since then he has to go twice (in and out), it is even half as slow as new.

  There is no transfer between the hard drive and the flash player I know.

  What this means for me, it is the index or take more time to rewrite, or files are actually moved. What I'm asking is if Windows is somehow data transfer (even if it's the index) drive flash disk, then moving them backwards, slowing things down. I think that even moving them by RAM would slow it down, but I'm not sure.  Also considers that the internal drive is cached. So even if a bit should be moved, Windows will just notice "Yes move this bit later."  The progress box says it completed instantly, but really uses lazy writeback just finish the job later.  That is why if you lose power to your computer, it corrupts the files got reported as fact, but were not actually written on the disc.  Flash drives do not use the lazy "write behind caching" because they never know when the user will disconnect unexpectedly, so that they take the slow lane and check writing all ended before they say the progress bar to advanced. 

  You can change this second element by setting your USB device to "best performance" in the device, as Manager below.  But I do not recommend because it cannot handle unplug you the reader more.

  

• Trying to recover a Windows 8 compatible USB flash drive

  Can someone help me please? I think that I have a hard drive failure or a fault. It specifies the drive name: TOSHIBA MQ01ABF050 and C:\;D:\ volume. I have a HP Pavilion Sleekbook with windows 8.1 14 TS (I upgraded from the Windows 8 which came with the laptop) and I unconsciously created a recovery image on a USB compatible of Windows 8 successfully when I lived already problems with my portable hard drive. Later, I discovered that it is not recommended to create a recovery image on a USB compatible of windows 8. I hope to just get back to factory settings and wipe out all my files if it can help me my laptop in working condition I have already backed up my important documents to USB. My next question is 1.) The recovery image that I created with the usb it's 8 compatible windows won't work if I try to do a factory reset? 2.) the recovery image I created everything with the mistakes already, will be technically 'clean', which means he has everything needed for a laptop running once I replace my hard drive or perform recovery with hard flow drive up? (3.) I will be able to restore from the recovery partition? or affect the hard drive failure that animate as well? Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance to those who can help me.

  Note: my USB flash drive is also compatible with windows 8 AND 7. Is it possible to transfer only in just a usb compatible windows 7 if I encounter problems because of the compatibility of windows 8 flash player, I used for the creation of recovery image. Thank you.

  The question of compatibility you're talking about is one where many flash drives are seen as a local instead of removable storage disk - and HP Recovery Manager wouldn't use it to create a recovery media. Since you were able to create your USB support has been recognized as compatible for use. You should be fine with recovery use.
